How To Stop Smoking In Four Easy Steps
Everyone approaches the idea of stopping in their own unique way and for their own reasons. In a similar way, each individual has a unique twist to their habit. Some people only smoke socially; some only smoke in the evenings, some smoke 20 a day, some 50, and so on. Each person’s expectation about how easy or how difficult it may be to stop tends however to be on more similar lines. Most people look upon the final act of quitting smoking with about as much fondness as the prospect of having their leg amputated!
Thoughts tend to run along the lines of “how will I cope?” or “I’ll put on 20 pounds in weight” or “I’m going to be really grumpy”, etc, etc. Thinking like this definitely does not help matters. You are creating an expectation that it will be very difficult and extremely uncomfortable. You are creating an expectation of weight gain, bad temper and failure. The thing is, what you expect to happen, does indeed happen. Such is the power of your own mind. This is why you have to get your mind around stopping smoking to pave the way to success and long term freedom from the weed.
